It was made in 1953. It has no back posts; a full peripheral plate; great scale; the weirdest Schwander action you'll ever see; two-tone natural wood, (Circassian Walnut/English Walnut), Two Pedals; was intended to sit directly on the floor w/o casters; great tone.....yada, yada!<G> I suspect it spent the better part of it's life in an English Pub. (I purchased it from a man from Morcombe Bay, England). That was his story. The Cheek Blocks and the keys had cigarette burns up/down an octave..at least. It stunk to high heaven, when I got it, but I've taken care of that issue.<G> What's not to like???? Now, I've answered your 'question'. How about answering mine? Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.

Only difference I can percieve in this procedure is that you don't have to "tilt" a grand and you'd darn well better take the action out and lay in some plastic sheeting, etc. to protect the key bed, etc. Not understanding that one Keith. > > Hi Joe, > > I can understand the "not understanding". > > Just how old is this most favorite English upright of yours > that is in your collection, the one with the conical bushings? > > Keith
